Abstract
The invention relates to a method of detecting a relative position of a mobile terminal device with respect to a vehicle. It is provided for the method to include the following steps: generating reference measurement values relating to a predefined relative position of a calibration device with respect to a calibration vehicle, generating position measurement values which relate to the current relative position of the mobile terminal device with respect to the vehicle, evaluating the reference measurement values and the position measurement values for detecting the current relative position of the mobile terminal device with respect to the vehicle, and storing the generated reference measurement values in a database, wherein the database is a database outside the vehicle which the vehicle may access by means of a communication connection. The invention is based on the object to provide a possibility to minimize deviations in the detection of the relative positions of different mobile terminal devices with respect to a vehicle.
